When booking your accommodation at Noosa you will want to book a resort that offers a wide range of facilities. We recommend you choose a resort that offers a choice of both relaxing and more exuberant activities to suit the times that you want to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors of Noosa as well as the times you just want to sit back and relax.

First let’s look at relaxing activities. You might think that “relaxing activities” is a bit of an oxymoron. However there are actually many activities at your Noosa resort that will help you relax and unwind. After checking into your apartment or penthouse, there is nothing nicer than reclining on your sun lounge by the pool, enjoying the sundeck with a cool drink and letting the atmosphere of Noosa Heads envelope you. Perhaps even incorporate a BBQ for some casual dining. As you look out past the palms and through the native trees to the views over Noosa and Laguna Bay you will very soon feel yourself unwind and melt into the gentle pace of Noosa Heads.

If you need a little more help to relax try immersing yourself in the rooftop spa. The heat and spa jets will work their magic and gently massage and wash away any remaining tension. A great way to get your circulation going is to alternate a session in the spa with a dip in the cooler temperature of the roof top pool. Try repeating the process a few times for a heightened effect. There is also a heated pool available. Perhaps you would prefer the privacy of relaxing in your own private spa or plunge pool. All options are available at Noosa Crest.

The sauna facility is very popular and taking a sauna is a great relaxation activity. It has long been known that sauna has many benefits. It is particularly beneficial for pain relief for tired achy joints and for improving circulation. When the heat of the sauna penetrates into the muscles, blood flow is increased and benefits such as skin cleansing, better sleep, stress relief, weight loss and improved immune system are often reported, particularly with regular use. When using the sauna facility it is important to drink a lot of water so as not to become dehydrated.

Finish off your relaxing day with some bird watching from your balcony and enjoy views of the sunset over Laguna bay, before taking a short stroll along the private boardwalk to the infamous Hastings St and restaurant precinct. After dinner take a walk along the beach and stroll home amidst the beautiful landscaped gardens of Noosa Hill. There is of course the taxi option if you prefer.

If you really want to get the heart racing you will enjoy the full size tennis court which is floodlit until 9pm. Equipment hire is also available. Of course one of the natural attractions of the Noosa Heads area is the water, both in the Noosa River and at one of the many beautiful beaches. It naturally follows that there are many water activities for you to enjoy. You will be able to book your water activities as well as many other tours at the resort service desk. Staff will be only too happy to help and you will not be charged a booking fee. There are also many free activities available. Walking through the Noosa National park is a highlight for many guests who prefer to venture out of the resort for a little while.
